MELLO X MATT IS KILLING MY WALLET. YAAAAAAY~

music and cosplay. wewt. this is why i need a job.

(oh, right, and college. that's another reason.)

or at least someone to buy my stuff.

our service has been malfunctioning recently... but mom called the company and got it fixed today. hopefully it stays fixed. anyway, i got my compression vest ordered today, whoo-hoo! i'm excited to get it. XD

i've decided i'm going to get my haircut soon. i was going to wait to get it cut very short until May, but i decided to do it in time for Uchi-Con. i can't wait to have short hair again. XD

the shirts are $10 at Wal-Mart in the women's section! i got the black & white and the red & white. i'm too happy to find them for cheap. all you cosplayers who already have the white shirt, consider getting the red one just to take advantage of the deal. haha! i think it's quite snazzy-looking.

so we're here in Colorado, and we're going home tomorrow. happy ChristmaHanuKwaanzaSolstice! i got everything i really wanted. X3

here are some shots from Halloween, in the galleries titled "Mello" and "Matt".

we went to JoAnn's today, and they seem to be reorganizing, as they had very little craft stock today. =( regardless, i got everything i needed in order to finish Mew Ichigo, as well as the pink ruffle that i needed for my other skirt, some hook-and-eye closures for my white skirt, and grommet tape for a corset that i started ages ago and never finished. haha, it's nothing special, but i really want to finish it. i can wear it on more gothicky days with a black skirt and my ruffle-front blouse. i have a black 3-tiered skirt that needs repairs, and it's too short, so it will get another tier. i'm going to try fixing my white skirt with a more fitted, corset-like high-waist with hook-and-eye closures this time. also, it looks like i will have enough fabric left from Mew Ichigo to make some bloomers for myself. (finally!) my grandpa gave me some needlenose pliers for my birthday, so i fixed my LOVELESS chain just now.

upcoming projects:
Hide sweater and hat (on commission)
white high-waist skirt ~ revised
black tiered skirt ~ revised
sweet pink skirt
pink rose skirt
black pleather underbust corset
white cotton petticoat (Leafy: EPIC PETTICOAT FAIL)
pink sweet lolita shoes
pink bloomers
lavender rabbit ear hat

cosplaying Mello today was really fun. i basically ended up making the whole club anticipate my arrival while i spent forever getting dressed, so then they laughed when i swaggered in munching a chocolate bar. XD er, pictures didn't happen today, but i will get some shots of the cello tomorrow and we're planning to dress Wammy again closer to Halloween because Teger doesn't want to dress up (even though she wears that striped jacket EVERY DAY), to take videos and make an MV. the staircase in the school and the outside will be perfect. X3

it's so fun to be in character.

Dante: Shoulda brought blocks.
Panda: Yeah, I couldn't find my Legos...
me: That's because I fed them to Linda.

we got only a few new faces, but every little bit counts. usually lots of people come on the second meeting because the first was too short-notice. hm, how to dress next week?

today i looked at some pieces from Kikirara Shoten for the first time... their designers are really quite eccentric. it's really sort of... Edwardian punk? i don't really care for most of it... though i liked the pieces that were in the US GLB vol. 1; they struck me as more of a Charles Dickens-esque look. they seem to create some very interesting hats, though.

i worked on the Lucky Star jeans a couple days ago. i think i'm going to a shirt with some lyrics using the same marker that i used on the jeans, and i'll take some photos when that's done. haha, i'm so punk. wtf.

i need to make a proxy of Jacob's Hide sweater before i start using the fabric he bought for it, since i'll need to basically make the pattern using some other patterns as a base. it's not fitted, so it shouldn't be a big deal. if all goes well, i can use pretty much the same pattern for my Akito straitjacket. i think i will make the proxy to keep myself, out of some kind of fleece or knit. so i need to go to the fabric store for that, and some other stuff for my frillies.

i should really finish the commissioned art i have...

Kyouki ripped a hole in the side of her food bag to eat from the pile of kibble now on the floor, despite having some in her bowl. o_O

i did closet cosplay of Amane Misa today. tegerah was very sweet and came over to take pictures for me. (the photos)

also... there are a lot of flies here right now. big, fat ones. more than i ever remember seeing in the past. (Japanese beetles are another story. a horror story.) i have no idea why.

i've had these but i never got around to posting them. i had been waiting for videos that we were promised, but they haven't come yet. =(

( click for lots of huge pics! (not dial-up friendly DX) )

Wall-E was an absolute joy.

also, i finally posted lolita kyouya.

current really-bad costume-in-progress pics! it's Duchess Renge! with capelet without capelet

we got some great photos of my Renge costume today. http://www.cosplay.com/gallery/103726/
( DEATH NOTE CUPCAKES! )

bleh, the egl comm got pr0n-spammed. XP

finally, my essay is done! i think. so hopefully i can soon get to my fanstuff!

but today i am going shopping with a friend for cosplay goodies. i will need to sew quite a bit the next couple weeks. my renge skirt is almost done!
